WHEREAS, existing development on the north sides of Lebanon Road, between
Stewarts Ferry Pike and Disspayne Drive, includes a church, three subdivisions,
and a condominium development; and

WHEREAS, on the south side of this section of Lebanon Road is the historic
Clover Bottom Mansion, which houses the Tennessee Historical Commission; and

WHEREAS, Lebanon Pike has had traffic flow which exceeds its capacity for
over 20 years; and

WHEREAS, the absence of a turn lane to accommodate traffic turning left into
the developments creates an extremely hazardous traffic safety condition; and

WHEREAS, installation of a center turn lane at this location would not only
promote traffic safety, but would stabilize and enhance the local environment
for the residents.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT
OF NASHVILLE AND DAVIDSON COUNTY:

SECTION 1. That the Metropolitan County Council hereby goes on record as
requesting the Tennessee State Department of Transportation, Governor Phil

Drive.

SECTION 2. The Metropolitan Clerk is directed to send a certified copy of
this Resolution to Governor Phil Bredesen, Senator Joe Haynes, and to Representative
Ben West, Jr.

SECTION 3. This Resolution shall take effect from and after its adoption,
the welfare of The Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County
requiring it.
